I'm seeing number 5 for lunch today. Very much not my choice but it's 5 mins walk and she seems pretty alright. Question is which of her pics is she going to look like, the rock chick, cheeky, sexy or moody af?
Very, very rarely did they even look close to their photos.

My general rule was she will look worse than the photo she looks least attractive in. Also the less photos of her body means the more overweight she will be.

I've got to say I disagree with that. Only one of mine I'd say looked worse. You can generally tell when they're trying too hard to look good, the stage managed presentation, filters, professional make up etc. Same when they're a whale and they only put face pics up (or face and cleavage).Very, very rarely did they even look close to their photos.
She's definitely not fat though, so that's a good start.

On the back of the profiles mentioned above where the women write nothing about themselves or the "Just ask", are there any phrases that make you cringe?
For me
"No Timewasters" normally means they are actually the timewaster if you mail them.
"Genuine only" normally means they aren't when you mail them.
"Positive" normally means they aren't when you mail them.
I don't pay any notice whatsoever tbh. Looks, looks, looks, age, distance, height. Oh and baggage (aka children).For me
"No Timewasters" normally means they are actually the timewaster if you mail them.
"Genuine only" normally means they aren't when you mail them.
"Positive" normally means they aren't when you mail them.
It helps to separate the "window shopper"; "oh look at how pretty I am", "just want an online BFF" from those serious about dating.
My pet hate are the ones that say they want someone who is compatible with their beliefs, lifestyle , pastimes etc etc and then doesn't mention what those things are.
For me the serious ones are the ones that know what they want without being negative about what they don't want (like the lady mentioned much earlier in this thread).

Seems I may be on this thread again myself soon. Met a girl on POF in June 2017 but seems it's reached the end now. My profile is still hidden on POF, but noticed she created a new one last night - unfortunate that she looks so damn hot in it! Oh well, such is life.
.
Sorry to hear that..
Can you pm me the link to her profile please?

Odd one..
I've been on various platforms, POF, Match, Tinder, Bumble etc etc
On every one, I've been matched by the same girl, she's even said 'hello' once, but then never responds and on Match I got the stock 'declined' message BEFORE she matched with me.
I have the same, quite distinct photos on each platform, so it's not like I look like a different person.
Just seems odd. Why match with the same person over and over if you've no intention of saying anything to them?

It's amazing the number of women's profiles on Tinder and Pof that have absolutely no content..... it's almost as if they think they're doing men a favour just being there
That's not just the women, men do that too. or they write "just ask" which instantly puts me off.Also, these fake profiles that have a google picture or whatever and no description - I can only assume these are men who are in relationships and looking to catch their partners on there.

A woman said hello first on Match, rare in itself.Very, very rarely did they even look close to their photos.
She had 5 profile pictures, 2 of which she looked good, 2 were OK, and one looked not quite as good… so sayeth Brad Pitt……..
Messages passed, we arranged to meet for a drink, and while in the pub car park with a few minutes spare, I checked her profile again to confirm subject matter to talk about/not talk about.
She now has 6 profile pictures, 5 as per previous but the new one was WAAAY different to the other 5, but it was probably, almost, nearly still her. The other 5 pictures were almost a different woman. Needless to say she looked like picture 6, and she had a rather disturbing laugh (read cackle)…. . So a disappointment. I decided not to take it any further.
I checked her profile 24 hours later, back to 5 photos again, and of course picture 6 wasn’t one of them…

Total and utter waste of time.
For the elite, no-one else, no likes, no replies, total and utter rot. Deleted. Confirmed the suspicion this is a bad idea!

Reverse image searching can be 'interesting' at times.
Can be useful to weed out the stock images some scammer has acquired from Google.
But others why on earth do they use their work id photo, or an image of them that can be found on Facebook twitter etc. Came across a profile recently who had used same photos on all of them.

because no one expects the level of social media stalker skillz some guys possess! What was her IP address? Can be useful to weed out the stock images some scammer has acquired from Google.

Yep had similar, no full body shot but 5 pictures but looked like she was actual "average" figure (real average not this new scale woman seem to use) We are chatting well and start to talk about meeting up next minute "average" changed to "a few extra pounds". and some pictures changed on the profile...
bloody hell that's devious.what age group is this?
haven't really found this going on in the 40-50 age group.
You still get the "only head shots" or "pictures from a few years back" but they are easy to spot.

The downside to Bumble is the fact the woman has to make first contact if you match, taking in to account a lot of women on dating sites refuse to make the first move/send the first message it doesn't work well
Its actually quite good... that acts as a moron level filter. Especially if they've copied and pasted 'man up and send the first message'. though if they were hot they did sometimes get the 24hr extend....Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
